Isabella strutted over in her high heels, her demeanor proud and haughty. "Mia, I can't believe you're wearing another man's jacket to the banquet. What kind of impression are you giving my brother?"
Raising an eyebrow, Mia responded, "Lewis and I have no relationship. As for whose jacket I wear to the banquet, do you have any say in it?"
"But the news outside is all about you and Lewis getting engaged soon. This decision is made by both our families, and whether you agree or not doesn't matter. So you'd better tone it down."
Disgust flickered across Mia's face. "My family has never agreed to me marrying Lewis. Don't try to embellish yourselves."
It had always been the Bowen family's wishful thinking, and now they were even attempting to spread rumors through the media.
At that moment, a middle-aged woman approached Mia and said, "Ms. Lane, don't be hesitant. My son truly adores you. If you consent, our family will organize a lavish wedding for you."
Isabella chimed in, nodding vigorously. "Yes, Mom. But Mia is wearing another man's jacket to the banquet. It's obvious she doesn't care about Lewis. Someone like her isn't deserving of him."
Noticing the jacket draped over Mia's shoulders, Connie interjected, "Ms. Lane, the Bowen family holds considerable status as well. Once you marry into our family, you'll be expected to abide by our rules and let go of any unfavorable habits."
Mia found herself at a loss for words. She hadn't anticipated the audacity of the Bowen family, attempting to impose their expectations on her so assertively.
In the past, Mia had worked to maintain peace between the two prominent families, never openly confronting the Bowens. However, when faced with their brazen behavior now, she felt compelled to assert herself.
Mia's tone turned icy as she remarked, "Lewis has been engaged several times before, hasn't he? And weren't all of his previous fiancées from affluent families?
"Yet every time one of those heiresses became engaged to him, their family fortunes quickly dwindled, absorbed by yours.
"Is it just bad luck, or is Lewis simply a harbinger of misfortune for his wives? Marrying into the Bowen family seems to bring nothing but doom."
"Mia, what nonsense are you talking about? Lewis is far from being a jinx to his wives!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
More chapters please & conclusion in sight?...
Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...
More chapters please...
Please update all the chapters...
I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
